 Superfly paperback October 28, 2008
I was also inspired to read more about Lucas, after seeing the film...but what a let down!!! It was a jumbled mass of bits (hopefully researched)with no flow, and shocking grammatical and spelling errors. The text didn't correspond with the chapter titles and it seemed like a kid(uneducated) had written it. I can't get over that I've paid money for this. Don't buy it!!
A rough draft by a good author March 27, 2008

I have read and liked other books by this author, most notably his work on the Cali Cartel. This book was obviously rushed to meet a deadline with the movie on Frank Lucas and as a result it was poorly written, contained many typos, and added little content beyond a google search or wikipedia. If you have read his other books you probably appreciate the level or research but this book only offers a few tid bits of speculation that are not well substantiated. Its too bad that he rushed it out for what must be commercial reasons at the expense of his integrity as a writer.
 POORLY WRITTEN March 27, 2008

This book was poorly written with many grammatical errors and misspelled words. The content was somewhat interesting, as it appears to contradict some of the movie "American Gangster."

What moron looked at the text before it went to print? Parents: Don't let your kids see this mess.

A great book that reveals the truth about Frank Lucas.
Harlem Godfather: The Rap on my Husband, Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnson I would also advise readers to check out Harlem Godfather: The Rap on my Husband, Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnson to find the true story of the REAL American gangster, Bumpy Johnson.
